This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When people get used to feature which crosses all deprecated stuff in pop-up menus, then this feature should be also implemented in pop-up menu with list of parameters for constructor invoked by Alt+P. For example type: "new java.util.Date(|)" and with the cursor between the brackets press Alt+P. The variant of Constructor which is deprecated should have crossed parameters in this menu.
This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue. Thanks for your cooperation, NetBeans IDE 8.2 Release Boss
